Dustin Rhodes in his prime is another guy I think deserves as honorable mention or the wildcard vote here....afterall, he is the son of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Wrestling is in his blood and he has natrual talent/charisma when it comes to stepping between the ropes. It came to him naturally and he didn't have to work too hard to get known in this business.

When he first debuted Goldust, I totally marked. WWE could have done more with that character and it could have been such and over dark and demented heel gimmick where he could have been over as a main eventer just on his gimmick alone, instead WWE turned him and his gimmick into a sideshow circus attraction...anyone the Artist Formely Known as Goldust....OMG is all I could say to that at the time....

Dustin was never able to break out of the shadow of being the Dream's Kid in my opinion and given a true opportunity to stand on his own two feet with his own charisma and his own talent and given a chance to shine. But I did like him in the early to late 90's and the man can cut a sweet fucking promo.
